Art Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Art

1.
All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!
Castaneda, Carlos

2.
By the time a partnership dissolves, it has dissolved.
Updike, John

3.
Bad artists always admire each other's work. They call it being large-minded and free from prejudice. But a truly great artist cannot conceive of life being shown, or beauty fashioned, under any conditions other than those he has selected.
Wilde, Oscar

4.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Picabia, Francis

5.
Why should I buy expensive art when I can make my own.
Piero Milani

6.
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Baudelaire, Charles

7.
It is the cause, not the death that makes the martyr.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

8.
Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.
Ballard, J. G.

9.
Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero's heart.
Proverb

10.
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

11.
The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

12.
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

13.
Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.
Dahlberg, Edward

14.
The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
Art the end result of perception, wisdom, intelligence, discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.

16.
I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.
Ruskin, John

17.
It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found.
Woodberry, George E.

18.
Creative work is play. It is free speculation using materials of one's chosen form.
Stephen Nachmanovitch

19.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Conrad, Joseph

20.
The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
Mailer, Norman

21.
Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.
E. M. Forster

22.
Faint hearts never win fair ladies.
Proverb, Danish

23.
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid

24.
The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.
Picasso, Pablo

25.
There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
Paglia, Camille

26.
There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth. Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all.
Havel, Vaclav

27.
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas

28.
Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

29.
In every veil you see, the Divine Beauty is concealed, making every heart a slave to him. In love to him the heart finds its life; in desire for him the soul finds its happiness. The heart which loves a fair one here, though it knows it not, is really his lover.
Jami

30.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Suttner, Bertha Von

31.
No manager ever won no ballgames.
Anderson, Sparky

32.
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Scott, Sir Walter

33.
Art -- the one achievement of Man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.
Thurber, James

34.
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Gandhi, Indira

35.
It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.
Ginsberg, Allen

36.
If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
Barney, Natalie Clifford

37.
Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.
Dubuffet, Jean

38.
Great persecutors are recruited among martyrs whose heads haven't been cut off.
Cioran, E. M.

39.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
Berle, Adolf

40.
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.

41.
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William

42.
Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.
Castaneda, Carlos

43.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.
Eckhart, Meister

44.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
Twain, Mark

45.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

46.
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill

47.
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

48.
The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone.
Baldwin, James

49.
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Elizabeth Bowen

50.
Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.
Capp, Al
